Tax professionals say changing payroll services may stop future mistakes, but it does not erase unpaid taxes or filing errors already on record with the IRS.
IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 22, 2025 / Business owners facing payroll tax issues often assume that switching payroll providers will resolve ongoing problems with the IRS. However, tax resolution specialists caution that while a new provider may help prevent future errors, it does not eliminate past payroll tax liabilities or correct filings that have already been submitted.
According to Clear Start Tax, payroll taxes are ultimately the responsibility of the employer, not the payroll company. When mistakes occur – such as underpaid withholding, late deposits, or missed filings – the IRS continues to hold the business accountable, even if those errors were caused by a previous provider.
“Changing payroll companies is a smart operational move, but it’s not a reset button,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “The IRS looks at the employer as responsible for everything that’s already been reported or missed.”
Clear Start Tax notes that unresolved payroll tax issues can linger for years, often surfacing unexpectedly through IRS notices, penalty assessments, or enforcement actions. In some cases, business owners are surprised to learn that balances continued to grow long after the payroll provider relationship ended.
“Payroll tax problems don’t disappear just because the system changes,” the spokesperson said. “If the IRS sees missing deposits or incorrect filings, it will pursue the business until those issues are addressed.”
Tax professionals say early intervention is critical. Ignoring notices or assuming a new provider has corrected past errors can lead to escalating penalties, interest, and potential collection activity.
“Business owners should treat payroll tax notices as urgent,” the Clear Start Tax spokesperson added. “Addressing past issues head-on is often far less costly than waiting for enforcement to intensify.”
By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / December 22, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network company focused on secure, AI-powered delivery solutions for healthcare and enterprise environments, announced today that members of its leadership, product, and engineering teams will attend CES 2026 to engage with industry stakeholders and evaluate emerging trends shaping the next phase of autonomous delivery.
Arrive AI’s delegation will include Chief Operating Officer Mark Hamm, along with product lead managers and engineers, underscoring the company’s focus on real-world execution, system reliability, and applied AI in complex, regulated environments.
Rather than approaching CES as a showcase event, Arrive AI is attending with a deliberate focus on listening, learning, and validating market readiness for autonomous delivery solutions that move beyond pilots and into scalable operations. There is also the goal of engaging with prospective strategic supply chain and technology partners.
“CES offers a unique opportunity to step back from individual product announcements and assess where the broader autonomous delivery ecosystem truly stands,” said Mark Hamm, COO of Arrive AI. “Our goal is to engage directly with operators, integrators, and technology leaders to better understand what’s working in real deployments, where gaps remain, and how AI and autonomy can be applied responsibly in environments where reliability and trust are non-negotiable.”
Throughout CES, Arrive AI’s team will prioritize conversations around:
Operational readiness and scalability of autonomous delivery systems
AI applied to safety, reliability, and exception handling, not just autonomy
Integration challenges across hardware, software, and infrastructure
Enterprise and healthcare delivery pain points, including security, chain of custody, and compliance
With autonomous delivery gaining increased attention across consumer, enterprise, and healthcare sectors, Arrive AI sees CES as a barometer for how the industry is evolving from experimental demonstrations toward dependable, production-ready systems.
“There’s no shortage of innovation on the CES floor,” Hamm added. “What matters now is understanding how these technologies perform outside of controlled environments – inside hospitals, campuses, and other mission-critical settings where failure isn’t an option.”
Informing the Next Phase of Development
Insights gathered at CES will help inform Arrive AI’s ongoing product and platform development, particularly as the company continues building an autonomous delivery network centered on secure delivery points, AI-driven orchestration, and system-level integration.
By bringing product leaders and engineers to the show alongside executive leadership, Arrive AI aims to ensure that strategic decisions remain closely tied to real-world feedback from partners, customers, and industry peers.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 22, 2025 / Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV)(OTCQB:REVVF) (“Revolve” or the “Company“), a North American owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects, is pleased to announce the receipt of a final Generation Permit for its 130 megawatt (“MW”) El 24 Wind Project (the “Project”), located in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, from the Comisión Nacional de Energía (“CNE”), Mexico’s federal regulator for the renewable energy sector. The project was one of only 5 wind projects across the entire country granted a generation permit by CNE. Additionally, the Company is pleased to report material progress on the interconnection application process for the Project. The issuance of the CNE Generation Permit represents a critical regulatory milestone and materially advances El 24 toward ready-to-build (“RTB”) status, positioning the project for advanced commercial discussions, financing, and potential monetization.
“Securing the final generation permit for El 24 is a defining value-creation milestone,” said CEO Myke Clark. “This is the same stage of development where we have historically unlocked significant shareholder value, including with our Parker and Bouse solar projects that were sold to ENGIE. By systematically advancing El 24 through late-stage permitting, we are executing a proven strategy that has delivered strong outcomes.”
Approval of the Generation Permit provides regulatory certainty over installed capacity, generation rights, and compliance with Mexico’s national electricity framework. This approval substantially reduces any remaining development risk and enables the project to progress into final permitting, engineering, procurement, and commercial structuring phases. The Generation Permit enhances bankability, supports advanced interconnection and financing discussions, and positions the project for a range of strategic outcomes. The Generation Permit for El 24, which was approved December 19, 2025, is the key authorisation issued by the federal regulator for the electricity sector in Mexico. Without this permit any generation project does not have authorisation to generate electricity and / or export to the national electricity grid. The Company submitted a generation permit request to CNE in mid-October 2025 and has been working with CNE in the evaluation process since then.
The El 24 Wind Project is a utility-scale, 130 MW onshore wind development strategically located in Tamaulipas, a region with strong wind resources and established transmission infrastructure. Revolve has completed extensive site control, wind resource assessment, environmental and social studies, and interconnection planning in advance of the CNE approval.
With the Generation Permit secured, Revolve will focus on:
Completing final engineering and turbine optimization.
Advancing interconnection agreements and grid integration planning.
Evaluating commercial pathways, including construction financing, strategic partnerships, and potential monetization opportunities.
RTB targeted for late 2026.
Commercial operation date targeted for 2028.
The Mexican government has also announced it will launch a further qualification window in 2026 for new projects to participate in the accelerate permitting process. The Company intends to evaluate this new qualification window and the potential to register the 400 MW Presa Nueva Wind Project for evaluation. The Company believes that its on-the-ground experience, local relationships, and disciplined development execution provide a competitive advantage as regulatory clarity improves.
Regulatory Background
On October 17, 2025, the Mexican government announced a comprehensive plan for the growth and expansion of the electricity sector in the country with a specific focus on new renewable energy generation capacity and the role of private sector investment. The plan identified a requirement for capacity totalling 5,970MW from new wind and solar generation projects that would be delivered between 2026 and 2030 specifically from private generators such as Revolve. This new capacity requirement was then broken down into an initial list of preferred locations where projects in these areas would be considered for priority treatment under the federal plan.
To underpin this plan the government at the same time announced an accelerated or expedited interconnection and permitting process, which would see priority projects being evaluated over a 2-month period by both CNE and Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (“CENACE”, Mexico’s independent public agency that manages the National Electric System). If successful through this evaluation process private generation projects would be awarded a Generation Permit by CNE and an interconnection agreement by CENACE based on an agreed commercial operation date for the respective project.
The El 24 Wind project is in one of the preferred locations identified under the federal energy plan. On this basis the Company registered the project to participate in the accelerated interconnection and permitting process referenced above. This registration application was successful, and the Company has been working through the evaluation process for the Project with CNE and CENACE over the last 6 weeks.
Interconnection
The Company submitted a revised interconnection application for the Project in early November and has since received the results of the technical studies from CENACE to support the interconnection of the Project to the national electricity grid. These studies included confirmation of the network upgrades and associated costs to interconnect the Project, the results of which were in line with the Company’s expectations. The Company has formally accepted these studies and is awaiting the next step of the evaluation process, which is expected to be the issuing of the final interconnection agreement in February 2026.
“Revolve has a demonstrated history of advancing large renewable projects through late-stage development and monetizing them at optimal points in the value curve. We believe that El 24 benefits from many of the same commercial attributes that drove value in those prior projects. Mexico has implemented expedited permitting and prioritization mechanisms designed to accelerate the integration of new renewable generation capacity into the national electricity system. Revolve’s success in securing the El 24 permit reflects both the Company’s project readiness and its deep familiarity with Mexico’s evolving regulatory framework,” concluded Clark.
November 2025 Unit Financing Note
Further to the Company’s press release dated November 7, 2025, announcing the closing of its brokered private placement of units for total gross proceeds of $3,039,973, and at the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company clarifies that Beacon Securities Limited, as agent, received a cash commission of $202,648.11 and was issued 1,092,369 compensation options (each a “Compensation Option“). Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (each a “Common Share“) at an exercise price of $0.19 per Common Share until November 7, 2027.
Revolve was formed in 2012 to capitalize on the growing global demand for renewable power. Revolve develops utility-scale wind, solar, hydro and battery storage projects in the US, Canada and Mexico. Revolve also installs and operates sub 20MW “behind the meter” distributed generation (or “DG”) assets. Revolve’s portfolio includes the following:
Operating Assets: 13 MW (net) of operating assets under long term power purchase agreements across Canada and Mexico covering wind, solar, battery storage and hydro generation;
Development: a diverse portfolio of utility scale development projects across the US, Canada and Mexico with a combined capacity of over 3,000 MWs as well as a 140 MW+ distributed generation portfolio that is under development.
Revolve has an accomplished management team with a demonstrated track record of taking projects from “greenfield” through to “ready to build” status and successfully concluding project sales to large operators of utility-scale renewable energy projects. To-date, Revolve has developed and sold over 1,550 MW of projects.

Following completion of the Acquisition, MagIron will own 100% of a vertically integrated portfolio of assets including an iron ore concentrator, a rail load out facility and a pelletizer which were originally built at a total cost of approximately $660 million.
These integrated facilities will allow MagIron to not only restart iron oxide pellet production relatively quickly, but also to pursue the development of the U.S.’s first vertically integrated merchant pig iron producer. To advance this strategy, MagIron is working with Primetals Technologies, a world leader in the fields of engineering and plant building, to assess the feasibility of a downstream expansion to produce granulated pig iron, which would position MagIron as the only merchant pig iron producer in the U.S. This new, entirely domestic supply chain will allow the U.S. to reduce its near total dependence on foreign imports of this critical material and also improve the quality of pig iron used given the lower levels of impurities compared to existing imports from Brazil. Establishing an onshore merchant pig iron producer is essential for the U.S. to secure the supply chains of strategically important industries including automotive, aerospace and defense.
MagIron Due Diligence Process
The Acquisition follows an extensive due diligence process, including technical, commercial, legal and environmental reviews from third-party consultants. This work included a review of historical production and cost data from when the facility was operating in 2016, which validated key assumptions underpinning MagIron’s restart plans, including capex requirements, operating costs, production volumes and the restart schedule.
Larry Lehtinen, CEO of MagIron said: “Acquiring the Reynolds Pellet Plant is a transformative step for MagIron. Together with our successful test work at the NRRI we are well advanced in establishing an entirely domestic supply chain of high-quality, low-carbon ore based metallics for American steel production. Supported by one of the largest and long-life iron resources in North America, MagIron is positioned to be a dependable, long-term partner to the U.S. steelmaking industry – strengthening supply security, improving quality, reducing exposure to increasingly unreliable foreign markets, and supporting the transition to cleaner, low-carbon steelmaking.”
Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: “This is a significant step forward for MagIron. Once the Acquisition is completed, all the necessary buildings block will be in place for MagIron to execute on its strategy of becoming a fully integrated multi decade DR pellet producer to America’s fast growing Electric Arc Furnace steel industry. As investors, we are also encouraged by MagIron’s stated strategy of pursuing the development of merchant pig iron facilities due to the much higher market prices for pig iron compared to DR pellets.”
“The Acquisition and re-start of the MagIron operations will be funded at the MagIron level, and does not require funding by CoTec. We believe that the successive value accretive asset acquisitions, including the Acquisition, by MagIron over the past few years and our 16.5% equity interest in these assets serves as another marker of the value created by the CoTec team and our belief that there remains a significant gap between the intrinsic value of our assets and our current share price.”
CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) is redefining the future of resource extraction and recycling. Focused on rare earth magnets and strategic materials, CoTec integrates breakthrough technologies with strategic assets to unlock secure, sustainable, and low-cost supply chains for the United States and its allies.
CoTec’s mission is clear: accelerate the energy transition while strengthening U.S. economic and national security. By investing in and deploying disruptive technologies, the Company delivers capital-efficient, scalable solutions that transform marginal assets, tailings, waste streams, and recycled products into high-value critical minerals.
From its HyProMag USA magnet recycling joint venture in Texas, to iron tailings reprocessing in Québec, to next-generation copper and iron solutions backed by global majors, CoTec is building a diversified portfolio with long-term growth, rapid cash flow potential, and high barriers to entry. The result is a game-changing platform at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and strategic materials.

SMX, FinGo & Bougainville Refinery Ltd to Deliver Verifiable Identification for Gold
NEW YORK, NY; PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA AND LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / December 22, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX; SMXWW), a leader in physical-to-digital authentication and traceability technology, today announced a joint initiative with FinGo, a secure digital identity provider, and Bougainville Refinery Ltd (BRL) to evaluate a combined technology framework for authenticating the gold supply chain from mine and miner through refinery and export. The initiative reflects a shared objective to establish Bougainville as a global reference point for transparent, responsible, and technology-enabled gold trade, demonstrating how advanced authentication and digital identity infrastructure can be embedded at a national supply-chain level.
The parties will assess the deployment of an integrated material and human verification platform designed to deliver traceability, auditability, and transparency across the entire gold value chain. It brings together SMX’s molecular-level gold authentication, FinGo’s biometric digital identity and KYC/AML infrastructure, and BRL’s operational, compliance, and export capabilities as a licensed gold refinery and supply-chain operator.
Authenticating Both the Metal and the Human
The joint initiative addresses a challenge in global precious-metals markets: the ability to verifiably authenticate both the physical gold and the individuals handling it, in a manner that meets applicable regulatory, compliance, and ESG requirements.
SMX’s proprietary technology enables gold to be invisibly and permanently authenticated at the material level, creating a secure physical-digital link that remains intact through refining and downstream processing. This material identity is anchored to a tamper-resistant digital record, enabling continuous verification, auditability, and provenance assurance.
FinGo complements this capability through its Human Identity-as-a-Service (HIDaaS) platform, providing biometric identity verification, KYC/AML alignment, and secure authorization of individuals operating across the supply chain from miners and aggregators to refinery personnel and export counterparties. This is designed to enable actions, custody changes, and transactions to be confidently attributed to verified individuals, including in remote or infrastructure-limited environments.
Leveraging BRL’s Operations and Bougainville’s Commitment to Transparency
Bougainville Refinery Ltd brings established refinery operations, export workflows, and regulatory compliance processes into the initiative. BRL’s role is to operationally integrate SMX and FinGo technologies within real-world gold sourcing, refining, and export environments, with a goal to strengthen chain-of-custody integrity while supporting robust AML, KYC, and responsible-sourcing standards.
SMX believes that the joint initiative both aligns with the Bougainville Government’s stated commitment to responsible resource management and the use of advanced technologies to enhance transparency, trust, and economic participation across the gold value chain, as well as demonstrates how public-private partnerships can embed next-generation compliance and traceability infrastructure directly into national supply-chain operations.
Together, the initiative has been designed to evaluate how an integrated framework can enhance:
End-to-end provenance and chain-of-custody assurance from mine to export
Alignment with international KYC/AML, responsible-sourcing, and ESG standards
Digitised, auditable compliance records for regulators, counterparties, and financiers
Reduced reliance on manual, paper-based verification processes
Aligning with Global Gold Market Standards and Responsible Sourcing Framework
The initiative is aligned with the direction set by leading global gold-market bodies, including the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), and the World Gold Council, to advance transparency, responsible sourcing, and robust chain-of-custody expectations across international precious-metals markets.
As regulators, refiners, and market participants face requirements to demonstrate compliance with responsible gold guidance, AML/KYC obligations, and ESG frameworks, the initiative is being designed to evaluate how physical-to-digital authentication and biometric identity infrastructure can act as practical, scalable enablers of these global standards.
By embedding material-level gold authentication, verified human identity, and auditable digital records directly into supply-chain operations, the initiative is being designed to represent a concrete step toward supporting the objectives articulated in LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance, DMCC sourcing and compliance frameworks, and World Gold Council principles strengthening trust, accountability, and consistency across global gold markets.
Setting a Global Benchmark for Responsible Gold Trade
Beyond the single deployment expected in the initiative by the parties, it is intended to serve as a reference model for how jurisdictions can modernise gold supply chains, balancing commercial efficiency with transparency, accountability, and inclusion.
By combining material-level authentication, biometric human identity, and operational supply-chain controls, the initiative aims to demonstrate how next-generation physical-to-digital infrastructure can underpin trusted gold markets not only for Bougainville, but as a replicable framework for governments, refiners, and exporters globally.
SMX believes that the initiative represents what is possible when government commitment, operational capability, and advanced technology converge: a supply-chain environment where miners, refiners, regulators, financiers, and end-markets can participate with confidence, even amid the complexity of global precious-metals trade.
Executive Commentary Jonathan Kenneth, Director, Bougainville Refinery Ltd, said: “This initiative will evaluate the ability to support miners, gold dealers and the Bougainville Government with genuine end-to-end transparency across the gold supply chain. By combining advanced authentication and digital identity technologies, the refinery believes that it can assist in stronger resource management, clearer custodial ownership, and compliance with global best-practice frameworks aligned with the World Gold Council, LBMA, and DMCC. This is an exciting time for Bougainville as we continue to progress toward a more transparent, responsible, and internationally trusted gold industry.”
